When runing gdb pHelmIvP and then r targ_vehicle.moos I got the following error
No mission config block found for /home/moos/moos-ivp/bin/pHelmIvP
And a note that the helim is in the MALCONFIG state
The pHelmIvP app uses arg[0] not $PATH to construct relative paths.
Give the pHelmIvP an alias to run under when launching it after gdb pHelmIvP like below
r targ_vehicle.moos --alias=pHelmIvP
